chapter 9

Jessica's p.o.v

I really can't understand him, one moment he is sooo rude and harsh and the next moment he is so caring and sweet. Right now he was only the one to bite my finger and make it bleed but now he is only taking care of my wound. I am confused , it feels like he is innocent but his actions are different.

Jessica's chain of thoughts broke as she heard Nicholas speak

Nicholas took a piece of bread in his hand and forwarded it towards her to eat

Nicholas : eat this – with a little bit of concern in his voice

Jessica : no , I am good

Nicholas: do as I say – he said showing fake anger

Jessica: ok fine !!! but I will eat on my own , you don't need to feed me

Nicholas glared her and within seconds Jessica ate the bread from his hand.

Nicholas: that's like a good girl.

Nicholas feed Jessica with his own hands and after she had finished eating Nicholas cleaned her lips with the napkin. Nicholas stood up from the table and started to leave

Nicholas: I am going to my study room as I have a few meetings now , I dare you do not disturb me !!! I will ask Rosey to prepare the lunch you go and sit quietly in our room and if you even think of sneaking out then you know the consequences – he said giving a stern look and left

Jessica quietly went to their room and sat on the couch

Jessica's p.o.v.

O god !!!!what should I do now , just then an idea struck me. If I can't escape from here then why not call dad and tell him to find me also one thing amused me that why hasn't he come to my rescue yet anyways I started looking for a phone in the room as expected there wasn't any I was only dumb enough to think that he will kidnap me and give me a phone , I again felt helpless but then maybe I will find a phone somewhere in this big mansion !!!! bingo, let's go and I walked out of the room. It is going to be a really tough job finding a phone in this huge mansion, hope I don't get lost myself. Firstly I checked all the rooms of that floor but couldn't find one. I looked upstairs making sure he was nowhere I got onto the next floor making sure he doesn't notice me as the study room is also in that floor I quietly checked all the rooms in that floor and still found nothing then my eyes fell on the last locked room that was just beside the study. I gathered some courage and started walking towards it. Firstly I observed him through the study rooms window for around five minutes and when I was sure he was too engrossed in his work I quietly tip toed and crossed the room I felt my heartbeat increase because I was very scared of getting caught. I quickly ran towards the locked room and tried opening it but I couldn't then I thought that maybe like movies the door will open with a hair pin . I quickly took out one from my hairs and as soon as I put the hairpin inside the key hole...…

Nicholas coughed from behind with annoyance in his face. Jessica got frightened due to his sudden cough and the hair pin fell from her hand she turned towards him like a scared lamb.
